Cheteswar Pujara can become the next Rahul Dravid for Indian cricket?

Can Cheteswar Pujara become the next Rahul Dravid for the Indian Cricket team? The question arises because this young talent from Saurashtra province has shown his uncommon batting techniques in the India vs New Zealand series in recent past. As of latest, the youngster has hit a double hundred against the visiting England team at Ahmadabad in the ongoing first test of the 4 match series. Let us review how far he can stand up to the occasion in future.

Cheteswar Pujara is a right handed batsman from the state of Gujarat in western India. He plays the domestic ranji trophy matches for Saurashtra and has many records and hundreds to his name. But the topic here is, he has found a place after the retirement of greats like VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid. In the India-New Zealand series, he hit his maiden test hundred and proved critics wrong who had been questioning his inclusion in the national test team. But now he has shown signs of maturity and played a sheer test match innings with lot more composure. From the yet to be finished first against England at Ahmadabad, I feel he is meant to play test cricket.

India is looking to fill the vacuum created by the wall, Rahul Dravid’s retirement and Pujara has proved that he can be the worthy factor to fill it with back to back marvelous performances. What I like the best about him is the calm and cool approach to the ball of a bowler and plays it to perfection. He never shows any kind of too aggressive intent to score fast or get a hundred quickly. He just plays his natural game with ‘wait for the moment’ attitude, much similar to that of Mr.Wall, Rahul Dravid’s.

To narrate or speak on much on this topic might be little bit over confidence from my side and so, I also wait for the moment to see my expectations for Pujara come true.
